Effective Immediately, Tony Eury Jr. will no longer be the Crew Chief on the 88 pit box.
Brian Whitesell on the box this weekend at Dover. Lance McGrew, starting at Pocono.

This has been a long time in coming. Eury Jr. just couldn't hang in there. Dale Jr. should be doing so much better this year with the Hendrick equipment. I hope Dale Jr. turns his season around.

Better work or jr's next. Not Eury's fault someone misses the pit so much.

Actually the Crew Chief counts down for the driver to locate his pit. So it could have been his fault at times. Jr. didn't miss his pit at Lowe's... the entire Hendrick oraganization missed the setup and Eury Jr. couldn't adjust his way out of it like the other crew chiefs.

Yeah it was about time, No disrespect intended for Jr. nation, but Jr. gots to get his act together too. Nobody misses the pit more than Jr. I don't care even if the crew chief is supposed to count down to the pit. A driver knows who's in the pit before & after him, heck the #55 writes it on the dash, so thats no excuse. If that don't work hit the pit sign with your flipping name & # on it.

I only watch Nascar occasionally, but I claim to be a Jr. fan (loyalty to his dad).
Question I have is, is Jr. overrated?? He is now with the most powerful team in the sport, but has little to show for it.

The question is no longer "Is Dale Jr. overrated?" The question is HOW overrated is he?

It seems as though Jr is pretty darn overrated. I'll always be a fan, but for now i'll stick to rooting for my 2nd favorite driver - #14 Tony Stewart! GO SMOKE!
